The venue is set within the charming Welsh countryside which boasts unrivalled beauty and picturesque backdrops for your important photographs. In addition, the breath-taking estate has an impressive 15-acre lake and a serpentine pond, complete with a delightful jetty which is the perfect spot to capture a few special moments on camera.
The Castle, dating back to the 17th Century, has an undeniable sense of grandeur and elegance throughout. The grade I listed building is steeped in history, featuring striking original architecture, gothic towers and sweeping staircases.
Set among 650 acres of Welsh countryside your guests will be able to soak up the atmosphere on the castle’s manicured lawns, while being served drinks and canapés or even enjoying a barbecue.
With a 15-acre lake with a jetty stretching into its waters, a forest of towering trees nearby, many of which have preservation orders, and even the chance of catching a glimpse of the resident family of otters, there’s lots to surprise guests at every turn.
Top tip… If you’re hosting a garden party at Hensol Castle make sure you and your guests take time to play croquet on the lawn!

We had a gift of afternoon tea to celebrate our wedding anniversary. A very pleasant atmosphere and an enjoyable afternoon. From selecting our tea choice to enjoying our selection of sandwiches and pastries. We were well looked after by all the staff from start to finish and would like to thank Lucy for looking after us and making our day special

From a photographer - I had the privilege of shooting a beautiful wedding here in August 2023. The venue is beautiful and the staff could not do anymore to be accommodating. Looking forward to returning here soon. Jordan McDonnell

I had the privilege of photographing a wedding at Hensol Castle in August. With its sprawling lush scenery and gleaming lake it is a dream and the possibilities for capturing beautiful, unique images are endless. The castle itself provides a majestic backdrop for all your group shots and inside the warm tones and expansive rooms are a delight. The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful in all aspects of the event and the food was delicious. I cannot wait to shoot here again.

Lovely afternoon tea in stunning setting. Food was excellent quality and beautifully presented. Table service was good. However, front of house was not reflective of the high quality expected of such a well respected establishment. We were asked to vacate our table in an abrupt fashion, after waiting for our bill for over 20 mins. This was disappointing to say the least and soured what would have been the perfect afternoon.
